There is a KB article that clearly advises that the purpose of MIBS is not to identify devices (emphasis mine). You can see that here: https://support.solarwinds.com/SuccessCenter/s/article/What-is-a-MIB-OID-and-how-they-are-used?language=en_US and scroll down to the section "What are MIBs NOT used for". That said, now…

In my experience SolarWInds can't even monitor the VPN correctly so I'm going to go with no, there isn't an easy approach. There might be someway to do it with UnDPs but I'd guess an SNMP walk and then a search through that for one of the subnets would be a starting point in that journey.

OK - so it isn't truly an ALL nodes report but a report on all the nodes in a specific group or in your case nodes identified by a custom property. In which case, have you checked the nodes you know are missing that they have this specific CP assigned to them? I've had issues with groups (not CP's) recently where the…

What's the logic in the report? Is it restrictive in any way? That said, the only 'All Nodes' report we have is the default one BUT that only shows all nodes managed by NCM. So I'd doublecheck your report logic to see if it is excluding, or narrowing the selection criteria in anyway.

Also, looking at some of the SolarWinds default supplied templates (e.g. Change Interface Description - Cisco IOS) shows me they don't allow interface selection either. Clearly something broken IMO.

Interesting template. I just tried it in one of our environments and like you it doesn't show any of the interfaces. This environment is running 2023.2.1. The only thing I'm thinking is this might be down to some of the enhanced security that SolarWInds have introduced in more recent builds. As an example, I discovered the…

As @"superfly" states - you need to decomm (aka remove) these via AMP or if you don't use AMP then via the controller CLI.

If I understand your query you want to put a netpath output into a classic widget, and then place that widget somewhere. If that's right then the short answer is no, you can't. The longer answer is you can "fudge it". There is a feature request for this over here: NetPath Resource to add to Dashboards but whilst it has…

Tagging myself into this thread as we have quite a few clients that don't like aspects like Hostnames, IP's etc getting out - but of course to do any meaningful diagnostics support always ask for diags. Notepad++ is a starter, but it doesn't guarantee I'll remember to 'adjust' everything. Would be real nice if SolarWInds…

You could set up a reverse logic alert. So instead of doing a if server XYZ = down then alert, just switch the down to an UP. Set your trigger to an appropriate time length to allow for the patching

This looks nice work Thomas - sadly we don't have/use DPA but it makes me wonder if something similar is feasible without. I realise not all the data points will be available. If I can find some time, I'll see what I can cook up.

When you do the survey they usually state either at the start or end how long. But on average, it i s usually between 2 and 4 weeks.

I have been told (about a year back) that there are some "known" issues with 9k's and SolarWinds. It could be this is one of them, but still worth raising a support case for it.

I find that the cancel button works but the response is varied from slow to agonisingly slow. You could try a Stop/Start of all services - or a server reboot of your environment. Failing that, if not on a recent version then an upgrade could well clear it down.

The other option is to look at the alert that is sending you the mail and tweak that. Probably the quickest way would be to create a custom property for the ASA's and exclude that custom property in your alert logic.

I don't know of a way to configure discards just for ASA's but if you go: Settings > All Settings > Thresholds & Polling > NPM Thresholds - you'll see this:

Best place for sharing reports, queries, etc is over in the Content Exchange area: Just pick the relevant sub-category and post there. Also, best practice when sharing code is to use insert > code:

Done that and used punch cards.

My SWQL Fu (or even SQL) is not strong but I think your final line needs to be: and (IPAddress like '10.20.30.%') OR (IPAddress like '10.20.31.%')

LOL - my IT career is older than "The Internet" (as the public know it).

On the face of it, the logic appears to be sound. The only line I'd query is this one: Without knowing what your UnDP is doing / looking for it is hard to tell. That said, if you click one one of the down facing arrows and then click on "Show SWQL" you can copy and paste that into SWQL Studio, and then play around with the…

Following as interested in an answer to this as well.

Typically with SNMP v2 there are very few reasons for a poll to fail. Things to look for are, in no set order: * SNMP UDP 161 port outbound to the end node from the SWI side is blocked * Firewall, ACL or other security product is blocking the in or outbound SNMP packet(s) * Typo and most frequently of all ... * config on…

@"bobmarley" has added in the ToLocal which converts the time fields to your local time rather than the server time.

I think you are potentially misunderstanding the terms used. Towards the end of the video you reference they are talking about creating device pollers and that is absolutely done via the Web GUI. Access to those would be via Settings > All Settings [Node & Group Management] > Manage Pollers. A UnDP (aka universal device…

The KB article for this is: https://support.solarwinds.com/SuccessCenter/s/article/Network-topology-considerations?language=en_US The key takeaway from that is: "NPM obtains topology information about your network using CDP or LLDP via Network topology as well as ARP and CAM. The data is polled from each device via SNMP…

Hi ... There are several approaches depending on your setup. If you use a single management IP for the failover pair, then use of Traps is the approach and you can see some info around that…

@"ewk.jr" That would be down to enhanced node status - you can change that so that a different percentage of items need to be down prior to the icon going red. See this KB article: https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/orionplatform/content/core-calculate-node-status.htm 

There are a couple of approaches.... First, as @"bshopp" suggests you can edit your alert to trigger after the condition has existed for more than a set period of time. That time is up to you to determine. Our CPU trigger condition looks like this: The box highlighted red is where/how you set the length of time the…

I'm no S(W)QL expert but would these help: https://github.com/solarwinds/OrionSDK/wiki/SWQL-Functions#datetime-functions At first glance it looks to me like the following could work:
